Option C is correct
III only
Explanation:
- In geology, a strike-slip fault—also known as a transcurrent fault, wrench fault, or lateral fault—is a split in the Earth's crustal rocks when the rock masses slide past one another parallel to the strike, the point where a rock surface intersects the surface or another horizontal plane.
- Although horizontal compression generated these faults, they displace rock in a horizontal path that is nearly parallel to the compressional force to release their energy.
- The relative slip along the fault plane is lateral, and the fault plane is virtually vertical.
- Whether the block on the other side of the fault from an observer has moved to the right or left determines whether a strike-slip fault is right or left lateral.
